Description
The Witch summons a crow, whispers a message to it, and sends it off to deliver her words. Half an hour later, the crow arrives at the recipient and repeats her message aloud in its croaking, animal voice. The recipient may instruct the crow to relay a message back to The Witch.
System
Spend an Action and Exert your Mind to send a message to a target within 10 miles. You must have a specific target in mind, but you require only an intuitive understanding of them, such as their name, face, or Location.
The message can be no more complicated than a multi-page letter or long email. The message can only be seen/heard/read/felt by the intended recipient, but you must share a language.
Enhancements
-
Conduit
(You may use this Effect at unlimited range, but you require a token of your target to do so, such as a track of the target, a body part of the target, etc. One activation per token.)
-
Cantrip
(Activating this Effect has no Exertion cost, but its Gift Cost can never be increased above 2.)
-
Conversational
(Instead of sending a single message, you open up a line of communication to your target. You may converse with them without any additional Exertion cost for as long as one of you maintains Concentration.)
Drawbacks
-
Conditional
(This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
-
Condition - Can only be cast where crows can reach. The recipient must be somewhere a Crow could reach. Otherwise the message is delayed until they are.
-
Flying Paper
(Your message may be intercepted in transit, and any individuals near the target may be able to read or hear it.)
-
Out Loud
(Your message is not private, and individuals near the target will hear or see it.)
